A. John and James are identical twins but they don't go to the same school. Their
parents felt this would help them develop individual tastes, interests and styles-but the
boys at first hated the idea. Now they are really happy at their schools but occasionally
they swap places just for fun! The brothers are best friends but they now agree that their
parents were probably correct.

B. Anna and Beth are twin sisters but they are most unlike each other. Technically they
are "non-identical" twins. Anna is blonde and Beth is a brunette. Anna is noisy, energetic
and always crashing around to hip hop and rap. Beth is much quieter and likes listening to
classical music and reading. Anna eats anything and Beth is a vegetarian. But they are,
absolutely, the closest and best of friends.

C. The Perkins children, Sally and John, both study hard every evening after college and
most weekends. Sally studies French, history and Art. She plans to go to university in Paris
and wants to either work in a museum or an art sale room. John studies the Russian
language, business studies and maths. He wants to study in St. Petersburg and to set up his
own import business. I am sure both will succeed.

D. Greg's dad believes that there is no original, exciting new music being written and
performed today. Greg strongly disagrees and can name several new bands and singers
that are both completely original and really popular. But his Dad is a professional musician
and was quite successful when he was young. He argues that nearly every successful song
now is simply a reworked version of an older one.

E. In the UK you can legally do different things depending on your age. You can vote
for a new government at 18 but at 17 you cannot drink a beer. At 16 you can marry and
become a parent but you cannot drive to your wedding or make a traditional toast!
Meanwhile lots of bars and clubs are open only to people above 21 which means, married,
voting, car driving parents could still be too young to enter.

F. Serious stamp collectors are men and women who appreciate details. To the casual
observer, the oldest postage stamps in the world — the Victorian "Penny Blacks" — all
look identical. Millions were made but only a few of them are truly valuable. A serious
collector knows this and the ability to find tiny variations in the paper, ink or code used
helps them to find the "Penny Black's" that are rare and valuable.

G. Dina Ruiz has Japanese and black ancestry on her father's side of the family and
English, Welsh and German on her mother's. She was born in California and married her
husband, actor Clint Eastwood, in Las Vegas. When she first met Eastwood, she was 28 and
he was 63. She is most famous as a TV news "anchor" and is Chair of The California
Museum for History, Women and the Arts.

Family meal times.

The family meal time is one of the most valuable routines to establish in the life of a family.
Research has proved that children who eat at least one meal a week with their families
benefit greatly in terms of social skills and acceptance of shared responsibilities. They learn
simply and directly through their own experience, the importance of family interaction find
the value of close friendship, support and loyalty

In theory and with practice, a shared meal can be the setting for peaceful conversation and
allow each family member the opportunity to talk about his/her day, and possibly to
discuss any problems or issues. Successful family meal times are primarily about talking
and communication. In the modern age of 24 hour TV, computer games and computer
social networking sites — the fact is that it is often easier to eat alone rather than together.
Furthermore, if parents fail to establish these routines whilst their children are young it is
very hard to implement them when the kids become teenagers. But it is not impossible.
There are various strategies available for promoting shared family meals.

It is of first importance that every family member should be made to understand the
possible benefits; namely that our lives really can be better in general if we make the effort
to communicate more effectively. Next step — a weekly meal together can be set as a
realistic first goal. The meal should be quite a tasty and popular one as an inducement to
ID_15 4/15 neznaika.info
 keep the kids away from computers and TV sets!

It is important that shared meals should not be the setting for trying to deal with family
disputes. There will always be arguments from time to time — even in the happiest and
closest families. But these should be kept away from the dinner table if possible. Parents
are encouraged to set the tone by example. Light hearted banter, stories about the day
and a joke or two can help set the tone. They can also help by being attentive listeners and
appropriate responders. Successes should be marked by congratulation and bad news
supported with commiseration. Quieter family members should be encouraged by asking
what their opinion is on something, rather than about what they did or failed to do. It
makes them feel more important and valued. Sometimes a good start can help a simple
family meal go on to be a really enjoyable or even memorable experience.

The next stage in building this routine can be to introduce more days. In our experience
the best place to start is Sunday lunch. The second might be to establish Wednesday
nights as family meal time. Of course the most important thing is flexibility. This and a bit
of effort are required to set up helpful routines but the pay back can be immense for a
family.

Dinnertime family routines, especially if established early on, have all kinds of other
potential benefits. For example children can be encouraged to prepare one course
(possibly on an agreed rota): they might even be encouraged to compete to produce
maybe an exceptional soup or a truly sensational desert! This can be good fun.

Once established, family meal routines are also great for developing good table manners
and "work" habits. Children can learn to set the table, help with clearing up and generally
build good patterns of co-operation with their parents, friends and the people they meet
with in daily life.

12 1 2 3 4
12 We know that children who eat with their parents benefit because they

1. have greater intelligence.

3. develop better social skills.

4. learn to speak sooner.

13 1 2 3 4
13 Establishing a routine family meal is

1. impossible because of computer games, TV, etc.

2. possible only when the children are young.

3. impossible as to eat alone is easier than together.

4. possible with a strategic approach.

14 1 2 3 4
14 The most important thing in creating a new routine is to

1. start with one shared meal per week.

2. make sure everyone understands the benefits.

3. tempt everyone with a popular meal.

15 1 2 3 4
15 Shared family meals should

ID_15 5/15 neznaika.info

 1. accept that even happy families sometimes argue.

2. involve telling lots of jokes as a must.

3. be the setting for trying to deal with family disputes.

4. never be used for family heated discussions.

16 1 2 3 4
16 Quiet family members should be encouraged to participate in a conversation by

1. asking them to express their opinions.

2. asking about what they have done.

3. inviting them to share their problems.

4. congratulating them from time to time.

17 1 2 3 4
17 The next stage in building a meal sharing routine is to

1. introduce as many days as possible.

2. introduce cookery competitions.

3. add Wednesday night to the schedule.

4. be persistent and more flexible.

18 Once established, family meals are crucial for

41 The greenhouse effect causes the temperature on Earth to rise. It happens because heat
cannot escape through the upper levels of the air surrounding the Earth. The
consequences of the greenhouse effect may be disastrous: arctic ice is gradually melting,
sea-level is rising. As a result, all coastal areas may be flooded.

Global warming is the result of overheating of the air. It is caused by carbon dioxide
emissions from the burning of fossil fuels which collect in the space around the Earth. Acid
rain contains harmful quantities of acid. It is mostly caused by emissions which react in the
atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic
animals, and buildings. Besides, it has adverse impacts on human health.Ozone depletion
refers to the slow decline of ozone in the Earth’s stratosphere. Ozone is a protective layer
absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation which is produced by the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation
may cause skin cancer and affect the growth of plants.
